Exodus 26:7-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. You shall also make eleven haircloth canopies to cover the roof of the tabernacle.

8. The length of one canopy shall hold thirty cubits, and the width, four. The measure of all the canopies shall be equal.

9. Five of these you shall join by themselves, and six of these you shall couple to one another, in such a manner as to double the sixth canopy at the front of the roof.

10. You shall also make fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, so that it may be able to be joined with the other, and fifty loops along the edge of the other canopy, so that it may be coupled with the other.

18. Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.

20. Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,

22. Truly, toward the western part of the tabernacle, you shall make six panels,
